At the end of the course students are expected to have: 1. The basic knowledge on the botanical history and plant evolution as well as major systems of classification 2. Apprehended the Taxonomy and Systematic concepts, Classification and plant Nomenclature 3. Perception and comprehension of the main philosophical types behind different taxonomic schools and main differences between them 4. Acquired the morphological concepts and vocabulary necessary to describe plants 5. Developed the taxonomical skills needed for the identification of plants and management of biological collections 6. Learned the major lines of evolution in plants 7. Studied the major botanical groups, main differences between them, their evolution and characterization. To build and use a dichotomous key as well as to manage the necessary terms and concepts used to identify vascular plants.
The competences to be acquired by the students are directly related to the aims described above.
Classification and Systematics Botany from ancient times to actuality:Concepts and definitions: the basics of the classical disciplines; molecular biology Classification and levels of taxonomic categories Major classification types: similarities and role Botanical Nomenclature and Taxonomic studies The morphology of the plant body and its organs. The major plant lineages – From Algae to Flower Plants. Non-vascular plants: Liverworts, Hornworts and Mosses; Seedless Vascular plants; Lycophytes and Monilophytes; Seed plants I – Gymnospermae Seed Plants II - Angiospermae. Morphology and plants descriptors of seed plants

Students must attend 3/4 of the lab classes
For the practical assessement a minimum grade of 1.6 (in a total of 4) as well as the submission of 6 morphological examination forms i is necessary in order to be elegible to the theoretical exam.
The grading in the pratical assessment cannot be improved in any of the exams
On this course the described items will contribute to the final grade in the following proportion: Theoretical exam - 80%; Practical assessment 20%
Final grade is the summ of the 2 grades
Minimum grade for approval is 9.50
In the second exam season but no repetition of the practical assessment
